26 Best Japanese Restaurants near Golden Valley

“Kaci was an awesome server“

“First off, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The value is great. With that said, the wait staff was very pushy; if the chef left this place wouldn’t be worth a thing.“

“Fun! I got a shrimp roll, karage and Miraculum. Yum, yum, yum!“

“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.“

“really enjoyed our meal at Ichiddo! We were in town for the night a d decided to grab some dinner! We got the Spicy Miso, Veggie, and Niku Soba.

All were delicious! Would definitely recommend and would come back again.

Thanks!“

“NEVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY !! They were randomly closed on a Wednesday, which is fine, however their website DID NOT provide this information ! I ordered my food, they took my money, and the confirmation said that the pick up would be the following day . So I went to the location to see what was going on and that's when I saw the sign in the window claiming they were closed . They have NO option to cancel your order once you've made it so I had to wait to the following day to call . They refuse to refund me my money - I'm only in office one day a week , I'm not driving 35 minutes to pick up food that I wanted the day before ! Whoever answered the phone kept talking over me and cutting me off , she admitted that they don't have a way to cancel an order once it's made (which is ridiculous, I could've just canceled it that day and we wouldn't be in this situation ) I explained to her over and over again that their website DID NOT state that they were closed but she didn't care ! Long story short they got $20 out of me and lost a customer for life !“

“Absolutely excellent sushi! Great service! Love Kai’s!“

“Very nice experience we all enjoyed definitely coming back!!! Everything was just perfect 🤩“

“Best matcha in the city! I have tried quite a few places in the Twin Cities and Cafe Yoto takes the cake for best matcha. You can tell the matcha is good quality and the atmosphere of the cafe/restaurant is lovely. I live out of the country but whenever I visit (which is almost every month or every other month) I always make time to stop here!“

“First time here. Was welcomed and seated quickly, and our drink order came quickly. Nice portions and cooked to our temp. I had spicy chicken (no it wasn't spicy for me) but very good. Fried rice was good. We were with family for our granddaughters birthday and they provided a dessert. Food was great!“

“Really friendly staff and delicious sushi!“

“Unbelieveable experience and a must try. Freshest and tastiest food I've ever had.“

“This was our first time trying and everything was delicious. Service was also amazing I wish I would have asked our waiters name. He was very kind and offered what he thought would be best for us he definitely hit the spot! Thank you for a good lunch ☺️“

“Great food and friendly service. This is a great find and a must go for moderately priced Japanese food in the heart of Minneapolis.“

“I needed a treat, and did I ever get one in my bag of takeout tonight from Midori’s Floating World Cafe (in their temporary Seward Cafe location). The dumplings, entrees, and dessert were exquisitely prepared, with flavorful sauces and broths. Glad I splurged on the Daifuku: it was a little work of edible art. This food woke all of my senses for spring. I’ll be back.“

“My wife and myself had the lucky experience of passing briefly through Minneapolis, and decided to try this AMAZING AND TRUE GEM !!!! I am from Lima and we have been able to eat on many great places that serve our delicious food, both in Lima and in the US. To say it simply: K’ikinaco is easily our #1 restaurant, period. There, here, anywhere!! Congratulations friends !! Patricia and Enrique RP. (Arriba Alianza tocayo !!)“

“This is my favorite place to grab lunch on the weekdays. Quick and easy ordering through a kiosk. Food comes out quite quickly. I highly recommend the volcano roll, it’s an explosion of flavors in your mouth. Very fresh fish, friendly staff, and the music makes you want to dance!! For non sushi eaters- they have chicken options, the bang bang chicken bowl is another favorite.“

“It was last call. They sat us. Gave us a GREAT dining experience! Catered to our wants and needs! Even aloud us to stay as the VERY last customers, after hours!!! Food was absolutely fantastic! Lance gave EXCEPTIONAL service! As well met another family, from how family friendly the environment here is!Family restaurant/ business savvy space! Sushi bar! All around , hands down wonderful experience!!!“

“Always super friendly and have always treated us well. They've always treated us well and have a great sushi happy hour! Never a long wait from order to table. My wife loves the steak dinner with rice and I frequent the sushi. We also go with the gyoza for an appetizer!“

“I absolutely love it. You can pick your ingredients and sauce. It comes in a compostable bowl which I really appreciate. My little girl wanted some Edamame and Mango only and they made her a tiny kids bowl to go. Awesome customer service!“

“The food was excellent! Probably one of the best! and the service provided by Brian and Riley were over the top superb. It was obvious that they loved working there and took such pride in doing it. So refreshing!!!“

“Love the food and excellent service!!!“

“The Miso was delicious, the menu is not specific enough or maybe I don’t eat enough sushi to know. When I read “7 assorted sushi” I think the typical ones like a sushi roll, no all huge slices of raw fish. It wasn’t the servers fault so I just gave it to my friends, paid the bill and left. I think if you’re super into the raw fish texture you’d love this place, it was the largest slices of fish I’ve seen served that way.“

“Wonderful service, great authentic Japanese food with lots of sushi options! Hibachi is not only delicious, but a lot of fun for the kids! Our favorite place for all the celebrations! Portions are generous and food comes out at the same time and warm. 5 stars hands down!“

“Went to Raku this afternoon for the first time for lunch with my sister. The menu is great with lots of pictures and descriptions (even answers gluten free questions without needing to ask the server!) The food was INCREDIBLE! We ordered a handful of things but the Intense Ginger martini and their Mojito were amazing. They have a jalapeno yellowtail sashimi which was our favorite! Prices are great and the server was super quick and kind! Will be going again!“
